According to publisher Raw Fury, the point-and-click mechanics of Kathy Rain are perfect for phones and tablets, and having a fantastic story you can take on the go during the holidays makes for a nice getaway when you need a break from family. And if your family is anything like Kathy's, you're going to need some time apart.

The game, from developer Clifftop Games, tackles such typically taboo subjects as religion, dysfunctional families and other hardships endured by many in real life. Its narrative features light and sarcastic humor, dark undertones and an unpredictable story.

So why risk getting into political disagreements with your family on Thanksgiving when you can head back to the '90s and spend time with Kathy?
